The book is a first inclusive publication on the history of the Leningrad
School, one of the brightest and significant phenomena in the Soviet
Art of 1930-1980 that strongly influenced its contents and development.
The book outlines basic periods of the school's evolution from the
period preceded its formation in the early 1930s up to the early 1990s.
Paintings reproduced in the publication belong to large Russian and
foreign private collections, some of the works are published for

of the art heritage of individual painters and the epoch in general.
